Jacked Up Jack got his name because...what Trash Cat doesn't have a few things wrong with them? This poor guy came to TCR with a long, open leg wound, painful ears, unbearably itchy skin, and some bad teefers in need of removal. Now that he's been with us a few months, Jack is in much better shape, but he still can't help but look a bit pitiful.
We suspect Jack might have had a run in with a car or something else at one point - his front paws are wonky/curvy and a bit "jacked" on x-ray, but these are old injuries that have healed with no further treatment needed at this time. He's still a bit scruffy and perpetually ear-planed, but he perks right up for his favorite wet food, churu treats and snacks. Jack is very food motivated and doesn't think twice about his days on the streets.
Jack is a bit of a sassy cat who enjoys attention and being petted (especially the top of his head!) but can get a bit overstimulated. He is very sweet but is still sensitive over some of the areas that were known to be most troublesome to him (for example, his ears), so he'd probably do best with adults or kids that can read his cues. Even when he's all done, he gently lets you know and goes back to curling up in a soft spot to sleep. With slow, gentle interactions he has developed a soft spot for the foster family's toddler, who affectionately calls him "Jack Jack". Jack's other nickname is "King of the Stairs". His most favorite spot to sleep is the carpeted steps. When the foster family goes up or down the stairs they have to pay the "Jack Tax" before they pass him (Jack Tax = scratches on his head or a good brushing with a soft brush). If you brush Jack long enough, he can't control his tongue and it ends up hilariously hanging out until brush time is done.
Jack is estimated to be older gentleman, perhaps around ten? He would prefer to be a solo kitty in his new forever home. Jack has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV+/FeLV-. Are you looking for a grizzled kitty who has been through the wringer but has lots of love to give? Consider Jacked Up Jack!
(Are you ready for it?)

Additional adoption info
We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.
Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
